Abstract
), and outstanding mechanical and electrical healing efficiencies. In addition, it demonstrated exceptional recyclability with no significant loss in the mechanical and electrical properties after being recycled 20 times. Based on these properties, as a proof of principle for sustainable electronic devices, we demonstrated that electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes and pressure sensors based on this material could be recycled without significant performance loss. The development of multifunctional electronic materials that are self-healing and fully recyclable is a promising step toward sustainable electronics, offering a potential solution to the e-waste challenge.
